One thought on “024: Wedding Season Done Right

  1. Dear Stephanie, yes, all wonderful ideas, I am all for everything good and sustainable. I can’t understand why on earth would anybody use plastic plates and plastic cutlery at the wedding? I come from Romania and over here it would be very impolite to do that. We use the finest China and the finest silverware. We don’t mind washing up. Just a few weeks ago we had a graduation meal for my son and we had over fifty guest, that meant 50 X 2 plates – main course and desert – + 50 glases, cutlery, serving plates and bowls. Before I noticed two girls washed up half the plates and later on someone else did the other half. It is really so easy, there is no excuse for using disposables.

How To Let Stuff Go

When we let go of what doesn't serve us, we remove weight that holds us down. On today's show we turn to Zen Buddhism for wisdom on letting go of anxiety about the future, grudges, stuff, dead relationships, and more.

Here's a preview:

[4:00] Insanely anxious about the future? (Me too!) Don't spend your energy worrying; do this instead

[12:00] Think of decluttering not as throwing stuff away; think of it instead as setting your stuff (and yourself!) free

[19:00] How to let go of lost friendships and relationships, straight from the mouths of Buddhist monks

[26:00] Holding a grudge requires vast amounts of energy so become skilled at forgetting

[34:00] You're going to get to where you're meant to go, so there's no need to second-guess your choices
